Q: Should I transplant my Venus flytrap out of the mini-terrarium it came in?

Red Trap
A:
If you bought your Venus flytrap in a store, it probably came in a
little plastic terrarium; maybe a pot with a little plastic domelike lid. Does it need to stay in this little terrarium forever?
You have to decide for yourself.

Whatever you do, it should be to increase the likelihood that the plant is in conditions like
it would expect from coastal North Carolina or South Carolina.

If you live in humid Georgia (USA) or Townsville (Australia) you
do not need the mini-terrarium lid. But if you live in dry places like
western Nebraska (USA) or Nagpur (India), keeping the plant in a mini-terrarium will help provide much-needed humidity.

Bottle terrarium
You can make an inexpensive terrarium for your plant by modifying
a 2 liter bottle of the kind that your favorite soda beverage (or drinking water) comes in.
Cut the bottom off and you will
have a nice little terrarium (as in the photograph to the right). If you cut off the top and the bottom to give
yourself a tall transparent cylinder, and you will have a chamber that will will allow for air circulation,
which might be good, but the humidity will tend to be lower.

One thing you can do to help a Venus flytrap in a tiny pot stay healthy is
to not overwater it. Keep the plant wet, but do not keep the pot sitting in more than a few centimeters
of water. A deeply submerged pot cannot get enough oxygen. Water
your plant frequently, but do not make it sit in too much water.

If you want to upgrade the size of your plant's growing area even more, you
should look at the FAQ entries that talk about
terrarium construction.
